FEM on Mac OSX

NO not python, somthing seams wrong with your CalculiX binary ccx. Thus you should try to run just the ccx binary in a shell, or console, I do not know the name in OSX. There should be some output which hopefully will help.

It's called terminal you're aloud to forget the name

I probably crammed too much info in that last post. I tried running it in terminal (ie ./usr/local/Cellar/calculix-ccx/2.13/bin/ccx_2.13) and got this

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/gcc/lib/gcc/7/libgfortran.4.dylib
Referenced from: /usr/local/Cellar/calculix-ccx/2.13/bin/./ccx_2.13
Reason: image not found
Abort trap: 6

I found an unrelated post by someone with a similar error code with another program. They solved it by uninstalling the program and forcing homebrew to recompile and install (in this case. brew install --build-from-source calculix-ccx). I get an error when I try that.

make: *** [ccx_2.13.a] Error 1

your ccx binary is somehow broken. Means it has nothing to do with FreeCAD. You need a working CalculiX ccx binary. Since it is OSX I can not help in this regard. The posts in this topic are the best redource I can advice. May be one of the guys from this topic can help ...

Would it help if I provide the ccx binary (1.5MB 7zipped) or the whole package (8.5 MB 7zipped) for Mac? Compiled under High Sierra.

Don't know if it's related but the Travis OSX builds started failing around the date of Locost's first post in this topic.
The self-test error is the always the same, and related to FEM tests? (not the same as Locost's errors, but the same self-test error)

chrisb if you can get me the compiled package (say google drive or drop box) hopefully it will help. If that fixes things I'll report the hombrew issue.

Here is a link where you can download the 7zipped package:
https://owncloud.gwdg.de/index.php/s/a8FaSxIpDJzNHuj
it contains the complete subtree /usr/local/Cellar/calculix-ccx/

Thanks for posting that chrisb. I gave the download a shot. I got the same issues and error messages in FreeCAD and terminal as before.

Sad to hear. If I call ccx I get a simple usage message (first line input, second line output):

Code: Select all

/usr/local/Cellar/calculix-ccx/2.13/bin/ccx_2.13
Usage: CalculiX.exe -i jobname
